Composer: | G. A. Lohr |
1 With joy we hail the sacred day,
Which God hath called His own;
With joy the summons we obey,
To worship at His throne.
2 Thy chosen temple, Lord, how fair!
As here Thy servants throng
To breathe the humble, fervent prayer,
And pour the grateful song.
3 Spirit of grace, oh, deign to dwell
Within Thy Church below!
Make her in holiness excel,
With pure devotion glow!
4 Let peace within her walls be found;
Let all her sons unite
To spread the holy zeal around
Her clear and shining light.
5 Great God, we hail the sacred day
Which Thou hast called Thine own;
With joy the summons we obey,
To worship at Thy throne!
Amen.
